Four years ago, on 17 February 2008, the centuries old dreams of the Albanians for the freedom and independence of Kosovo were accomplished, by transforming the history of this country and turning it into an independent and sovereign state.

Today is a great day that is celebrated by everyone with harmony and tolerance, without forgetting the people thanks to whom Kosovo arrived to this day.

The Kosovo Security Forces paraded in the “Skenderbeu” Square, in Prishtina.


Jahjaga: Proud for this big day

“The Independence of Kosovo, declared four years ago, is a century old effort, the fruit of the work of many generations that worked and were sacrificed in the altar of freedom, so that we can be free, equal and with the same dignity as all other countries of the world”, declared Jahjaga in the Kosovo Security Forces Parade.

“Today we remember with pride the people that never stopped working for their homeland; the activists, the intellectuals, the fighters, the workers, the farmers and common citizens who gave their lives and contributed with their everyday work to our great national cause, which at the same time is a human cause, a civilization cause, as is freedom and the self-determination of a people. The Republic of Kosovom a sovereign and independent country has its territorial integrity guaranteed and internationally accepted. Kosovo has its complete international representation, same as all other countries, in full equality and reciprocity”, Jahjaga declared.

The President added that the Republic of Kosovo is an undeniable and nonnegotiable fact, a reality accepted by everyone and that is valued as a factor of peace and stability, considered as the most righteous and only solution. The Republic of Kosovo is having bilateral relations with a series of states, while it has become a good example in the relations with its neighbors, which is respected and honored. Kosovo has been recognized by 87 states, and among them are the countries with the most developed democracy and economy in the world. However, this number is still not enough for the aspirations of the newest European state.
